--- Author's POV ---
Shivika and Aadarsh were looking at each other without blinking. They were totally lost in each other eyes. Both in their own world.
"Aadarsh" said Akash in a loud voice but he didn't even budge. All started smiling looking at the love birds. "Love birds, can you guys come out of your own world" Akshay said laughing. Aadarsh and Shivika snapped out of their world and looked down while blushing.
"I'll be back" Shivika said while blushing and went in their bedroom. "I'll also be back" Aadarsh also said and went outside.
--- Shivika's POV ---
I came inside bedroom due to their teasing. I didn't even hear anything after the 6 month anniversary word. It's been 6 months... I didn't even realize. All the moments spent with him feels so surreal. The way he supports me, understands me, respects me and my parents, everything is so special. He makes me feel special. Always. Before marriage I knew that I liked him. But now I can definitely say that I'm in love with him. Yes ... I love my Arsh ❤️
I'll confess my feelings to him on our anniversary.
--- Aadarsh's POV ---
I came out of the living room due to their teasing. I couldn't handle that. This Aakash, Akshay and Keerthi are such brats and amma-appa also joined them. My god. Buttercup also went inside due to their teasing.
6 months of us being husband and wife. Time flies so fast. I feel like yesterday we got married and it's been so many days. My Shivika is really special to me. The way she understands me, supports me everything is so special. She is special. She makes me feel special. I love you Buttercup ❤️
This anniversary I'll confess my feelings to you.
---------------------------------------------------------
Both realized their true feelings. Both decided to confess their feelings on same day. Will they be able to confess or some thing else is waiting for them... only time can reveal.

--- Author's POV ---
After Aadarsh and Shivika went away from the loving room, all other people also carried on with their work. It was kind of decided that pooja will be held in the house. Aadarsh and Shivika then came to living room. Nobody teased them which was kind off good to both of them.
"Can we go shopping ?" Keerthi asked Shivika. "Yes of course, we'll go" Shivika replied with a smile. "Yayyyy" Keerthi said with a huge smile. "What happened Keerthi ?" Akshay asked seeing her all happy. "Me and attige are going for shopping" Keerthi said. "Ohhhhh...... Can I also join ?" Akshay asked showing his mot innocent eyes to Shivika. She couldn't ignore and nodded in yes. Akshay did a happy dance which made Shivika and Keerthi laugh. Then Aakash also joined them for shopping. Aadarsh also joined immediately his wife going. Ultimately all the young people made plan for shopping leaving the old ones. "So we'll go shopping in sometime, but let's have some food. I'm starving" Akshay said making everyone laugh. "Ok ok, I'll bring something to eat" Shivika said and went inside the kitchen. Sarla, Shivika's mother also went inside with her.
"Shivi, how are you baby ?" Sarla asked caressing Shivika's head lovingly. "I'm good amma. How are you and appa. Sorry I didn't even talk with you both correctly" Shivika said with a sad smile. "It's ok Shivi. We understand. We both are good" Sarla said looking at her daughter with love. "What happened amma ?" Shivika asked her mother. "Nothing. I'm just very happy to see you happy with your family but mother's heart always overthinks" Sarla said with little tears in her eyes. "Amma, I'm very happy with Aadarsh. He keeps me happy. Don't worry about me. Ok ?" Shivika said assuring her mother. Sarla just nodded at Shivika's words which seemed genuine to her.
Mother - daughter duo came out of kitchen with masala dosa, upma, Pongal and sooji halwa. The delicious smell spread in whole house. "Wowww , this smells so delicious" Aakash said while looking at all the food. "Yes, this looks soo yummy. I'm going to have fun" Keerthi said. "Me too" Akshay joined them. Shivika and Aadarsh smiled at their words. All the members settled down. Some on dining table and some settled in near places to eat food as the dining table was not sufficient for all people. Everyone had the food with some talking.
----------------------------------------------------------
Shivika, Aadarsh, Akshay, Keerthi, Aakash all came to shopping mall. They invited Harsh, Shrishti and Saarika. Now they all are in mall. Saarika is avoiding Aakash while he is trying to talk to her. Shivika, Saarika, Keerthi and Shrishti are in a clothing store. They are selecting some dresses for themselves. "Shivi, you'll look good in this" Saarika said while showing a beautiful knee length black shimmery dress."Yess, you'll definitely look beautiful" Shrishti also backed Saarika. "Yes, even I think. Anna is going to faint when he will see you in this" Keerthis added making Shivika smile. Shivika saw the dress and thought of buying it. "I'll wear this on our anniversary" Shivika thought and said "Ok, I'll buy this". Others also chose dresses for themselves and they were all done with shopping after 3 to 4 hours.
Aadarsh, Aakash, Akshay and Harsh were waiting for the ladies to arrive so that they can go and have some food. Aadarsh also bought black suit and some casual clothes. Others also did some shopping. Aadarsh wanted to go with Shivika but he didn't wanted to disturb her time with the girls. They both didn't talk much with each other after the teasing session of family. He wanted to hug her but waiting for the right time. Even Shivika was getting impatient as the time goes. She also wanted to be with him. After shopping, they all went to a restaurant and had food. All of them had fun with each other's company.
----------------------------------------------------------
All of them reached Aadarsh and Shivika's home. The 2 older couple were having some conversation with someone. The unknown person's back was facing Aadarsh when he entered. "Oh you guys came back. Come in. Aadarsh see who has come" Gayathri said in a happy voice. All were eager to know who that person was. Aadarsh and Shivika came in front of the person. Aadarsh's eyes wide open. He was shocked to see that person in his house. Even Shivika was shocked to see that person. All others came in front. Aakash was also shocked but didn't react that much. "See, I saw her in the building today and invited her. It's been so many years I met her. She has so changed na" Gayathri said. Aadarsh just nodded at her words. He couldn't utter a single word. His hand started to shake. Shivika immediately held his hands. He calmed down a little and held Shivika's hand very tightly. "You guys talk I will bring something for her to eat" Gayathri said and went inside the kitchen along with Sarla. Shivika just looked at Aadarsh gesturing him to start talking as Mohan and Kamal were there only. Aadarsh indicated no seeing Shivika. They both were having eye conversation. Finally Shivika said understanding Aadarsh ...
"Hi, How are you .... Maya"
